Eleven Years / New Model Army (Impurity)

----------------------------------------

|: F G :|

Stevie said now don't look round they're watching us

Two girls in the corner of that dodgy club

And the grey eyes, the storm that I've come to know and wish for

Before I caught a breath

Well she was standing there

We walked the streets of our town just talking

And the dawn broke grey and freezing through the deserted blocks

Just when your life is stale and there's reason there for everything

Something comes to kick you up inside

Eleven sweet years and no nearer home

A hundred thousands miles through this battle zone

Still high on the wire above the hollow darkness

Trying not to look down...

No Rest for the wicked is still how it goes

Twisted up and turning my bed alone

And separation pains like a blunted amputation

Pushing endless coms in the telephone

Eleven sweet years and no nearer home...

So rest

In these open arms and cry

Until they come for you and tell

And tell me everything that you've ever felt

Tell me everything you want to see

|: F G :|

Forever running even when we are standing still

Driven on and fired up as the whirlwinds blow

And shouting out inside

I'm proud of you, I'm proud of you

Ten thousand footsteps echo down the Brixton Road

Eleven sweet years and no nearer home...
